Final Fantasy, the first open world game.
I would say the original Legend of Zelda holds that title as it came out in 86 and FF came out in 87.
I mean if we want to keep going down that road, there's Ultima which was released in '81. I bet there's something even more obscure that predates it.
Oh yes! Funny, I was going to comment somewhere else on this chain about Ultima's ecosystem that was present at launch and quickly removed. The players just killed everything with no regard, which was not taken into account when designing the system.
So I'm left wondering, first real what? Ultima had an open world and ecosystem, rain world has an open world and ecosystem, Spore even has an open world and its ecosystem is not really an ecosystem. This game looks great, I've wishlisted it. But they clearly need help with the marketing so it doesn't just sound like Randomly Generated Survival Game 3498.
